FCM lauds Victoria Park Station modernization

TTC Chair Karen Stintz congratulated the TTC, and the City of Toronto, for an award received for the modernization of Victoria Park Station on Feb. 25. The Sustainable Communities Award, from the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, recognizes the subway station’s renovation and renewal, which improves the customer experience, increases accessibility and addresses structural deterioration.

The modernized station, finished in 2011, includes features, such as: a six-bay bus terminal at street level; updated station interior with public art, new wall finishes, refurbished floors, improved signage and upgraded lighting; 5,000 square metres of green roofs and new bus terminal canopies; barrier-free access via fare line modifications and three new elevators; and a bicycle storage facility.
